This highly imaginative book takes a tour of the world and the cultures used for the tale OF Cinderalla. Each country portrays the same story, ie a woeful young woman whose father married a wicked step mother with two ugly daughters who are bad looking and with personalites that match the narrcissism and nastiness. I've had this book for awhile, I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. The illustrations are stunning, and the story is highly exquisite. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"A chameleon changes color to match its surroundings. Stories do the same. The earliest recorded Cinderella tale is thought to date from ninth-century China. Traveling across the glove, it changed its clothes but not its essence. Rivalry, injustice and the dream of wrongs righted are universal, no matter our garments. When the story reached France, it acquired the glass slippers and coachmen-mice familiar to Western readers. More than a thousand other versions are known. I pictured a book that would let us listen in on the tale-tellers we don’t often hear, who’ve breathed this story to life around fires of peat and pinon pine, swinging in hammocks and snuggling under deerskins.”
Beautifully illustrated children’s book with each sentence of the familiar Cinderella story told in multiple ways, reflecting the culture from which each version sprung.
Lovely – highly recommended! ( )
